Fortune House

Fortune House is a Chinese takeaway on Victoria Road at the northern end of Govanhill, positioned to serve the busy residential and commercial stretch that runs from the Gorbals southward through one of Glasgow's most diverse urban villages. The menu follows the Hong Kong-Cantonese format familiar to South Side regulars: curry sauces, sweet and sour dishes, fried rice variations, chow mein and noodle dishes prepared fresh to order. Victoria Road is lined with Pakistani sweet shops, Indian grocers, halal butchers and Eastern European food stores — Fortune House occupies the Chinese takeaway niche in a street better known for South Asian cuisine. A neighbourhood Chinese rather than a destination visit, serving the immediate residential community.
